What I am saying is that you are already paying for DNS services
- tedk-42 5y agoWhat I said was I didn't want to have to pay to do DNS lookups. E.g. if a client side DNS call was rate limited because DNS services like CloudFlare (1.1.1.1) or Google (8.8.8.8) got tired of caching data that was never suppose to be there. There are people who have joked you can use route53 as a database (Corey Quinn originally?). But taking a joke too far is irresponsible. Imagine having to pay a subscription to resolve DNS queries... We have a good thing with it and this idea is like a knife in it (like my free CI minutes and cryptominers example)
- zzyzxd 5y agoI mean, technically speaking, a DNS is a database. I am not saying I like this idea, but are there any regulations on what you can or cannot put in TXT records? > Imagine having to pay a subscription to resolve DNS queries... Great, I won't pay for resolving googleadservices.com then :) Joking aside, I personally don't mind paying for DNS (I am already doing that using NextDNS and it has been the best DNS service I have ever used). And as been pointed out by others, DNS providers can always put a limit or hit you with a ban hammer if they want.
